*** Content warning: we mention dead bodies, child sexual abuse, eating and diets***

I find out about when Mum saw a dead body...

 

This episode we dive in despite our continual tech difficulties of the Mac spinning beach ball. We manage to get the show on the road and read about Mums extensive dreams, driving everywhere because she now has her licence and is the chauffeur to all her friends, Mum’s extensive reading list of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Garfield... and most importantly getting a haircut that that absolutely does not work!

 

We read the wonderful Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and marvel at the parallels between 18-year-old Mum and a middle-aged man and Mum being taken to see dead bodies at Melbourne Uni and my school art foetus project

 

So settle in and press play and let yourself indulge in 60 cents worth of chocolate! - you’ll get it when you listen 

 

As always, press play for part therapy, part entertainment, oversharing guaranteed...
